He drew heavily on the works of Bachet de Méziriac Mydorge Leurechon and Daniel Schwenter; his own contributions were somewhat less significant for he was not a particularly creative mathematician.

175018749Paris 1750. 8vo. Jacques Rollin Contemporary mottled calf spine gilt in compartments with two red morocco labels lettered in gold blue marbled edges. With 136 engraved plates 9 folding 127 full-page numerous woodcut diagrams and printed tables in the text. 4 volumes. 16 460 20; 4 462 14; 2 482 12; 8 446 5 pp. Enlarged edition of a famous compendium of popular science complete with all 136 engraved plates. The work discusses a wide variety of subjects as it presents both serious scientific problems and experiments as well as descriptions of conjuring tricks fireworks and games. The problems and their solutions are arranged according to subject: arithmetical geometrical gnomonical optical mechanical pyrotechnical and physical. The optical problems were based on the author's own teachings of perspective and include working with mirrors anamorphosis and a camera obscura. All problems and experiments described are clearly and fully depicted on the numerous engraved plates.For his Recreations Jacques Ozanam 1640-1717 used everything known at the time in the field of popular science and made use of the works of Claude Gaspard Bachet de Mérizac Claude Mydorge Jean Leurechon and Daniel Schwenter. The added treatise on clocks which can be found in the third volume was based upon Domenico Martinelli's Horlogi elementari 1669 with popular observations by Ozanam added. However Ozanam not only recreated other scientist's experiments but also presented his own including a first idea of a movie made by quickly projecting magic lantern slides of the same figure in slightly different poses creating the illusion of a person walking. His work became very popular and was used at schools and at home to teach youth all aspects of mathematical sciences. The first edition was published in 1694; this is the final edition in the original form as the work was almost entirely rewritten by Jean-Étienne Montucla 1725-1799 shortly after. The present edition was significantly enlarged compared to the first edition with extra information and 52 additional plates.Ozanam came from a Jewish family that had converted to Catholicism. He taught mathematics in Lyon before going to Paris where his teaching brought him a substantial income. Ozanam cannot be regarded as a first-rate mathematician but he had a flair for writing and during his career he wrote a number of books some of which were very popular passing through many editions. His contributions consisted of popular treatises and reference works on 'useful and practical mathematics' and this extremely popular work on mathematical recreations which had by far the more lasting impact. Ozanam's Récréations may be regarded as the forerunner of modern books on mathematical recreations.With a paper shelfmark label mounted on the front pastedown of each volume "j3459/ 223". The edges and corners of the boards of all volumes are somewhat scuffed. Internally clean with only minor foxing on some of the leaves plates 19-21 in volume 1 are bound in the wrong order.

Inicialmente um estudante de teologia acabaria por se dedicar inteiramente à matemática após a morte do pai que o incitava aos caminhos religiosos. Fê-lo essencialmente de forma autodidata e acabou por se tornar um professor que dava aulas particulares a alunos estrangeiros em Paris. Embora não tenha sido um matemático de primeira linha destacou-se pela divulgação da mesma e pelo professorado.

É por esta última obra de matemática recreativa que Ozanam é geralmente reconhecido com pelo menos dez edições precursora dos vários livros escritos nesta matéria durante o século XVIII e XIX. A matemática recreativa compõe-se de diversos puzzles e jogos que vão desde os mais ingénuos passatempos aos mais sofisticados problemas que requerem não raras vezes o conhecimento de matemática avançada para a sua resolução alguns dos quais nunca foram resolvidos.</p>_x000d_<p>Johannes van den Aveele Leiden c. 1650 Estocolmo 1727. Pintor gravador em chapa de cobre e ilustrador neerlandês do final do século XVII e início do século XVIII. A sua carreira pode ser dividida em dois períodos. Antes de 1698 exerceu a sua atividade no seu país de nascimento após o que se mudou para a Suécia onde trabalhou sobretudo em mapas topográficos. Durante o seu período 'holandês' Van den Aveele realizou várias ilustrações sequenciais que são interessantes para os historiadores como protótipos de banda desenhada. Entre elas contam-se uma reportagem gráfica do casamento 1677 e da coroação 1688 de William III e Mary Stuart uma visualização da oração muçulmana 1681 e uma representação da violência católica contra os protestantes 1698.</p>_x000d_<p>EN In octavo. 25x20 cm. xiv 739 iii bl. pp. Contemporary full leather binding with raised bands and gilt tools on spine.</p>_x000d_<p>Illustrated <em>hors-texte</em> with a beautiful allegorical frontispiece on the title page by Johannes van den Aveele.

Initially a theology student he ended up devoting himself entirely to maths after the death of his father who urged him to follow religious paths. He did this essentially self-taught and ended up becoming a teacher who gave private lessons to foreign students in Paris. Although he wasn"t a top mathematician he stood out for his dissemination of maths and his teaching. Abraham de Moivre an important mathematician known for his <em>De Moivre"s formula</em> and for his advances in probability theory was his pupil.</p>_x000d_<p>A prolific writer in both pure and applied maths here is part of his bibliography: <em>Table des sinus tangentes et sécantes</em>1670; <em>Méthode générale pour tracer les cadrans</em> 1673; <em>La géométrie pratique du sr Boulenger</em> 1684; <em>Traité de la construction des équations pour la solution des problèmes indéterminez</em> 1687; <em>Traité des lieux géométriques</em> 1687; <em>Traité des lignes du premier genre</em> 1687; <em>De lusage du compas de proportion</em> 1688; <em>Méthode de lever les plans et les cartes de terre et de mer</em> 1691; <em>Traité de la fortification régulière et irrégulière</em> 1691; <em>Méthode facile pour arpenter et mesurer toutes sortes de superficies</em> 1699; <em> La perspective théorique et practique</em> 1711 and <em>La géographie et cosmographie qui traite de la sphere</em> 1711.</p>_x000d_<p>His books were commercially successful with several editions in print: <em>Dictionnaire mathématique</em> 1691; <em>Cours de mathématiques</em> 1693 in 5 volumes and <em>Récréations mathématiques et physiques</em> 1694 in 4 volumes. It is for this last work on recreational mathematics that Ozanam is generally recognised with at least ten editions the forerunner of the various books written on this subject during the 18th and 19th centuries. Recreational maths is made up of various puzzles and games that range from the most naive pastimes to the most sophisticated problems which often require knowledge of advanced maths to solve some of which have never been solved.</p>_x000d_<p>Johannes van den Aveele Leiden c. 1650 - Stockholm 1727. Dutch painter copperplate engraver and illustrator of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. His career can be divided into two periods. Before 1698 he worked in his country of birth after which he moved to Sweden where he worked mainly on topographical maps. During his 'Dutch' period Van den Aveele produced several sequential illustrations that are of interest to historians as prototypes for comic strips. These include a graphic report of the wedding 1677 and coronation 1688 of William III and Mary Stuart a visualisation of Muslim prayer 1681 and a depiction of Catholic violence against Protestants 1698.</p>_x000d_<p>Referências/References:</p>_x000d_<p>BNF: ark:/12148/cb384963218 ark:/12148/cb34000039z</p>_x000d_<p>MacTutor - University of St. Andrews biografia de J.

He drew heavily on the works of Bachet de Méziriac Mydorge Leurechon and Daniel Schwenter; his own contributions were somewhat less significant for he was not a particularly creative mathematician.
